Posted by Luis Delgado in Cinematography 0 views · 2 replies

Hey everyone, I'm currently location managing a commercial with multiple minor actors, and while I'm well-versed in the hours, chaperone requirements, and break regulations, I'm finding the practical application a headache. I’ve been running separate minor-specific schedules and flagging potential conflicts on my call sheets, but it still feels like a constant high-wire act to ensure we're never even close to a violation.

Beyond simply knowing the rules, how have you personally integrated the strict scheduling and legal/safety requirements for minors into your pre-production planning and on-set workflow? What specific systems or checklist items have you developed that genuinely make this process smoother for you and your team?
